I know a lot of people like him but to me it seems like he was created by some edgy 12 year old who still thinks that fart jokes are funny. GTA IV got flack for having too much ludo narrative dissonance because they show the toll that all violence is taking on Niko while still allowing you to go on GTA rampages in free roam. It never bothered me but apparently this was a real issue to some people so they wanted to make a character that reflected the player but they went too far with Trevor. None of the GTA protags were good people but with this exception they all cool gangsters instead of just a pointless lunatic

Trevor eats people which is not what I think of when I think of the gangster movies that GTA is modeled on
He is a disgusting pig who craps in alleys and does even bother to wipe his butt and his default shirt looks like it should be burned
He is a bully who uses and abuses those who are weaker than him. He treats Ron and that Clown makeup guy like trash and he actually rapes Floyd and ruins his life for no good reason

To each their own but I seriously can't believe the same people who came up with Arthur Morgan, John Marston, Tommy Vercetti and CJ came up with this abomination.

 

[Banjo64]

Definitely a 12 year olds wet dream of what a ‘quirky funny’ old thug is. Oh haha he’s just woke up in a dumpster getting bummed by a dog, how funny.

I agree that he’s dog shit. Michael and Francis are ok.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I have GTA V and this character prevents me from continuing with the game.


It's my least favorite from Rockstar

 

[bitbydeath]

No.
But I hate how he killed Johnny from GTAIV when he should have killed Niko, the worst GTA character.

 

[ReBurn]

I don't think that Trevor is crude in a comic relief fart joke kind of way. I found him to be quite complex. He's definitely a psychopath and much of his behavior is antisocial, but as you play through his story and understand his relationships it becomes apparent why he is the way that he is.

 

[Wrath of the Toomics]

I try not to judge GTA too much, there's no point.

 

[PhantomFox94]

No.
But I hate how he killed Johnny from GTAIV when he should have killed Niko, the worst GTA character.

Niko is the best protagonist in the series in my opinion.

 

[Aion002]

That's the point of the character. To make you feel disgusted by it actions, which are similar to how most GTA players play... You know... Killing everything and being an asshole to all npcs.

It's kinda great to be honest.

 

[Woggleman]

Niko is the best protagonist in the series in my opinion.

I agree. I liked the fact that killing was clearly taking a toll on him but was so ingrained in him that he didn't know another way. He was a badass.

 

[bitbydeath]

Niko is the best protagonist in the series in my opinion.

Tommy and CJ are my number ones.

 

[BennyBlanco]

He’s not supposed to be a movie gangster. He’s supposed to be a methed out hillbilly lowlife. I think they did a good job making him an unlikeable cunt who was sometimes funny.

 

[The_Mike]

If Trevor weren't in gta v I would probably never have finished the game to begin with.

Michael and Franklin were stereotypical klichees.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Tommy and CJ are my number ones.

And Niko

 

[8BiTw0LF]

No.
But I hate how he killed Johnny from GTAIV when he should have killed Niko, the worst GTA character.

Lol what? Niko is the most faceted character in GTA history. Also excellent voice-over and intriguing storyline attached to him.

 

[M.W.]

Michael and Franklin were boring as fuck.

 

[Alpha Male]

Yes

 

[Woggleman]

Michael and Franklin could have been fleshed out much better without Trevor.

 

[junguler]

no, the worst ones are typically the ones you can't even remember because they weren't even worth it to hate on.

 

[Aenima]

Nop. I liked Trevor much more than the other 2 chars.
Niko Bellic was also my favorite GTA character.

 

[Kenpachii]

Dislike entire gta 5 cast to be honest, it all feels like some kid version of real life.

 

[bitbydeath]

And Niko

Lol what? Niko is the most faceted character in GTA history. Also excellent voice-over and intriguing storyline attached to him.

Nah, Niko is the worst.
GTAIV is the most boring entry in the entire series… IMO

 

[yansolo]

gta v's characters and story are the weakest in the series for me

 

[YCoCg]

Trevor was created as a response to those who disliked GTA IV. He's meant to be a chaotic mess of a character who does shit for insanity sake. Though it was funny to see at the end it all stemmed from child abuse and him having mommy issues.

 

[j0hnnix]

 

[Marvel]

You're supposed to hate everything about him.

 

[Keihart]

i was gonna keep reading OP's wall of text, but i stopped right there where he claimed that fart jokes are only funny for 12 year olds.

GGEZ, you discredited yourself, you have no humor and probably a stick up your ass.

 

[Atrus]

I wanted to like him but the many character switch scenarios show him to be an irredeemable psychopath.

The ending wasn’t really that difficult for me.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

They succeeded in what they meant him to be. He's all of the bad things put into one. It's like a movie, it's make belief.

 

[Y0ssarian]

GTA V was the first GTA since 3 I didn't bother finishing. How much Trevor contributed to that I'm not sure, but it had the weakest story and characters

 

[Captain Toad]

Nope. It's Seaman.

 

[Woggleman]

The other characters were weak as well. Michael's whole family including him were just wastes of space and I hated the way he just acted like a prick to the staff at the studio when we would do a character switch.

 

[nemiroff]

Yeah he's so unrealistic as an character because in real life everyone is really nice and politically correct.

 

[bender]

Niko and Michael are worse. Most of the characters in GTAIV and V are just terrible.

 

[MrS]

Micah Bell is more of a piece of shit than good ol Trev

 

[Buki1]

Rockstar even said that this character is based on how a lot of people play GTA in free roam or multiplayer - pure chaos and violence for shits and giggles. A lot of his actions or jokes are based on what streamers did while playing GTAIV. Like "scooter brothers" for example.





It just a fan service to pretty big part of GTA community.

 

[Rekki-Maru]

He's crazy but he's. loyal. Michael, is a piece of shit for setting him up even if he had his reasons.

 

[Roll Fizzlebeef]

Trevor is supposed to be a piece of shit, which is what makes him the character he is. He makes you uncomfortable and feel dirty, and has been written perfectly to fit that.

Even you not liking him enough to make this thread proves hes a good character as he was memorable for you to voice out.

There are way more shit characters than anyone could count if you went through all games and took the time to find them. We cant think of them because of they were so bad they didnt leave any kind of impression

 

[Hendrick's]

My favorite character in V.

 

[Woggleman]

Micah Bell is more of a piece of shit than good ol Trev

He is but he is a good character because he just such a scumbag.

 

[HTK]

I liked all 3 characters for different reasons.

 

[Codeblew]

He was by far the best of the 3 main characters in my opinion.

 

[EekTheKat]

I think if he was on his own, yeah he would be borderline intolerable for a duration of a full game. But mixed with Michael and Franklin they do make for an interesting group dynamic.

 

[lame gag1990]

All 3 characters were poor. Trevor was the most tiresome shit I've ever seen in any GTA. He is so bad, not funny in any way, shape or form. Just a dogshit character designed for 12 year olds. No redeemable qualities.

 

[bit_blaster]

He was basically the break out character like Kramer on Seinfeld.

Michael and Franklin were played too much like voice of reason types, Trevor was lots of fun.

 

[mortal]

No.
But I hate how he killed Johnny from GTAIV when he should have killed Niko, the worst GTA character.

 

[hlm666]

Trevs the mvp.

 

[eyesabitdull]

I know a lot of people like him but to me it seems like he was created by some edgy 12 year old who still thinks that fart jokes are funny. GTA IV got flack for having too much ludo narrative dissonance because they show the toll that all violence is taking on Niko while still allowing you to go on GTA rampages in free roam.

Trevor eats people which is not what I think of when I think of the gangster movies that GTA is modeled on
He is a disgusting pig who craps in alleys and does even bother to wipe his butt and his default shirt looks like it should be burned
He is a bully who uses and abuses those who are weaker than him. He treats Ron and that Clown makeup guy like trash and he actually rapes Floyd and ruins his life for no good reason

To each their own but I seriously can't believe the same people who came up with Arthur Morgan, John Marston, Tommy Vercetti and CJ came up with this abomination.

The fact that you dislike him is a testament to how great he is as a character.

It means that the writing and the voice acting was in harmony to the point where the character believable - in a video game, mind you - where you can feel personal animosity against it.

And come on, you personally rob, kill, maim, maul, and blow up human beings in the game without remorse as either Michael or Franklin in what is supposed to be a "realistic depiction of LA," to which, realistically speaking, makes Trevor a perfect embodiment of the average player of GTA but tied to a personality that makes sense for a person who enjoys doing all the nasty things a player could do in the game.

I dislike his personality, but as a video game character in Grand Theft Auto - he's great.

 

[GloveSlap]

I thought he was great. It might not have worked with a weaker voice actor, but the dude nailed it.

 

[wipeout364]

I like him, he’s a great character. In GTA you are acting like a psychopath creating massive carnage and killing indiscriminately . Trevor just puts it in so your face so much that you recoil from him. Maybe he makes you pause and think about what you are actually doing in the game. He is extremely uncomfortable to play as and to be around and I believe that is the point.

I think GTA 5 will be the last good one. Now that the Houser brothers are gone Rockstar/Take 2 won’t be nearly so daring going against the PC crowd.

 

[LaughingStock]

Trevor represents the average GTA player.
